Dendron

perhaps you guys could change it to say that to export notes from joplin, you should export like this

So it was as easy as:
- `File` -> `Export All` -> `MD - Markdown + Frontmatter`
- Markdown import pod

Sweet. I'll get that in. Mind if I use that joplin screenshot?

This will be in the next docs promote tomorrow 🙂 https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron-site/commit/536132f8765b39cd54b7f32544bd12b1cb74cc82 (opted for no screenshot, in case the app updates or rewords anything in the future)

I see. Are there any other problems, or hurdles, that should be noted?

it doesn't "respect" the update and created fields of the front matter (coming from joplin)

other than that, nothing (expect that there's a "_resources" note that can be deleted, it just contains a list of "# Imported assets [...]")

You should comment on this issue with your experience when it comes to the frontmatter: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/2198 (looks like we have an incoming fix in the pipeline, not sure if it will overwrite the created/updated still)

What format are the backlinks in when exported? I can see if there is an open issue for it already or not

It's a relative path, including the spaces (encoded as %20)

(Joplin uses that when you copy a markdown link of a note)

Ah, this may be related then: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/2228

Somewhat related, because the link to the note is a relative one, and I believe that's not how it works in dendron?

<@!318826073813024769> What are your thoughts? Should a new bug be open when it comes to markdown importing, if relative links to other markdown files break? Not sure if an existing issue applies to this markdown import problem already or not.

<@!169870172138635269> can you provide the exact example format?

As in, do the links look like this:
```markdown
- [Broken backlink example](../other/docs/file.md)
```

I'm also not sure if there's an existing issue for this. I think a new issue would make sense (although I'd call this an enhancement rather than a bug).

<@!169870172138635269> Feel free to make a request for the import pod to help in converting backlinks of relative file path links to become wikilinks 🙂

I do think it's a bug, more so than the front matter one

Cuz now can't navigate with them, do you have a possible workaround?

Please file a bug report in that case, we'll try to fix it as soon as possible

https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/2251

just thought that wasn't possible in dendron (relative links)

A tool that may be helpful in the meantime, by <@!425977138819104768> , can help with frontmatter joplin dates when importing: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/discussions/2118#discussioncomment-1991260

thanks, although honestly I was just pointing that out, that doesn't really bother me :p
